meade916 Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 if your OS recognizes it, no it's not a waste. vista basic i think recognizes 2 gigs? i have ultimate and i have 4 gigs on mine. i wouldnt think of going less. especially with games nowadays. vista itself takes up a lot of ram to function itself also. water cooling is neat, but i had a bad experience when i did mine even tho i listened to everyone else and did what i should do, and didnt do what i shouldnt do, so i'm going to stick with good ol' fans from now on. steve...you see the crysis expansion? i think it's out now...or going to be very soon. supposed to be a smoother engine to run better on more mild machines...which just means it'll run THAT much better on beefy ones 4 gigs it is then! so far so good on the watercooling for me, only GREAT experiences with it.....and im overclocked a little too so that helps. Im the oposite of you bro, ill never go back to the fan cooled CPU, unless the fan is helping cool a water-block (like it is now) ill check up on that expansion, since i beat the game already it will be a cool add on (i hope). But then again the game is so big and so many places you can "roam".....its almost not even the same game the second time. It has the same objectives of course but i can take different routes and run into different villages that i didnt see last time. Im addicted again haha Its the best game ive ever seen, my jaw just stayes dropped the whole time i play.......yes, it looks THAT good. I might just make a video of what it looks like and post it Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

Torres Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 i may try water cooling again down the line, but i wont buy a kit this time. i'll part it together. it did look damn good all lit up also, you should check into far cry 2. it's made by crytek too. so i'm betting it's gonna look DAMN good. kind of the feel of crysis but a much different setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
